[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 70841, member: 2152"] Got to wash those clays, couple of suggestions, make a classifier bucket (agman put up a post in diy) and fill about half full, the longer its sat soaking the better, then work the bucket vertically up and down (tough work) and most of it should work its way through. Some swirling with the hands is somdtimes needed. Breaking it up into a slurry with gravels is good but giving it another run in clean water again is better than putting it straight in, those little sticky balls that are still the same size as yoir classification are likd velcro, they will roll through sometimes picking the gold back up. The other option you have is pick up a plastic tub with a solid sidewall and if it doesn't have holes in it drill some and set up a solid tutor box in your banker so it can only exit as it breaks down, like a mini puddler arrangement. Well worth it if your material is clay like to build a solid one. I've used a waste paper basket to from the cheap shop made of mesh and sprayed a strong flow into its sides, just another thought. I'll put a pic up of the box i have described because if your like me classifying clays all day can get tiresome pretty darn quick [/QUOTE]
